EDISON — An ambulance overturned on Route 1 this morning, and one person was rushed to the hospital for injuries in the crash, police said today.

The accident happened just before 6 a.m. near the highway’s intersection with Amboy Avenue, according to Lt. Andy Fresco.

The injured occupant of the ambulance was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Fresco said. But he could not say whether the injured person was the driver or a patient in the vehicle.

Several lanes were shut down on Route 1, Fresco added – though the fire department is still on the scene.

The ambulance was privately owned by a company named Sunny Transportation, Fresco said.
